Reflections on a 35 Year Career

REFLECTIONS!

2022 records 35 years of the business known as Robert J Re and Associates: Leadership At Work.

The aim in 1987 was to assist Managers to become more effective in their roles by enhancing their Leadership and Management skills.

Several thousand people have participated in various programs over the years and have hopefully benefited from applying some of the tools and techniques they acquired along the way. These tools and techniques were based on timeless principles that are fundamental to effective leadership and management. They not only transcend time, they also apply equally to all organisations and businesses and in all cultures. Whether here across all States in Australia or in New Zealand, Italy, Norway, Malaysia, China , Indonesia, Hong Kong and beyond, managers have put into practice their learnings from the masters, current and old, with great success.

Which is why we often say, “ Before you ask what’s new in Leadership, ask what’s true!

People often ask me about when do I intend to retire, as it is obvious that only a swift glance in my direction would show that I am well over the notional retirement age! My reply goes something like this : “ When I find an activity which gives me as much pleasure as this one, takes me all over the globe, helps people in their personal and professional effectiveness, and rewards me financially and stimulates and energises me personally, then I will definitely consider it!”

As Daniel Pink explains, the 3 keys to intrinsic motivation are Autonomy, Mastery and Purpose. I am fortunate to have all three in my life and am grateful for that.

We urge our clients to seek those elements in their working lives and importantly to try and create those same 3 conditions for all the people in their organisations.

It is possible if you create a dialogue in your organisation and adopt a culture of a growth and learning mindset!
